Tonehammer releases Ambius 1: “Transmissions”

In this first volume of our Ambius series, we focus on the dark, the cryptic, the unnatural and the subliminal, in the form of unearthly angelic bell tones and demonically corrupt signals filtering through the void.

Every sound you hear was hand-crafted using only organic field and instrument recordings. In fact, no synthesizers were used in the creation of this library at all. We used a variety of custom techniques to blend, warp, shape and layer the sounds, taking them from the realm of the known into that of the very unknown. The instruments you’ll find in this collection range from simple, clean, tonal leads to compound, constantly moving sound-scapes and textures.

Ambius 1: “Transmissions” features

288 different patches.

2.5GB ambient material.

Core articulations (main drone categories):

Tuned Solo:

Clusterbells – Dark, sustaining bell-like drones with a searing top end, these make for great pads and leads.

Dig – This set has tonal and textural similarities to a wall of didgeridoos, with plenty of muddy, complex bass and mid tones.

Tonehammer releases are, for the most part, ‘no brainers’ for me…and I have always loved their ‘bonus’ ambiance’s included with many of their releases so a whole collection devoted to that aspect of their art should be excellent ;-)
